Lithium Amide. Lithium amide [7782-89-0], LiNH2, is produced from the reaction of anhydrous ammonia and lithium hydride. The compound can also be prepared by the removal of ammonia from solutions of lithium metal in the presence of catalysts (54). Lithium amide starts to decompose at 320°C and melts at 375°C. Decomposition of the amide above 400°C results first in lithium imide, Li2NH, and eventually in lithium nitride, Li N. Lithium amide is used in the production of antioxidants (qv) and antihistamines (see HiSTAMlNE AND HISTAMINE ANTAGONISTS). [Pg.225]

Beryllium Nitride. BeryUium nitride [1304-54-7], Be N2, is prepared by the reaction of metaUic beryUium and ammonia gas at 1100°C. It is a white crystalline material melting at 2200°C with decomposition. The sublimation rate becomes appreciable in a vacuum at 2000°C. Be2N2 is rapidly oxidized by air at 600°C and like the carbide is hydrolyzed by moisture. The oxide forms on beryllium metal in air at elevated temperatures, but in the absence of oxygen, beryllium reacts with nitrogen to form the nitride. When hot pressing mixtures of beryUium nitride and sUicon nitride, Si N, at 1700°C, beryllium sUicon nitride [12265-44-0], BeSiN2, is obtained. BeSiN2 may have appHcation as a ceramic material. [Pg.76]

Nitrogen forms binary compounds with almost all elements of the periodic table and for many elements several stoichiometries are observed, e.g. MnN, Mn Ns, Mn3N2, MniN, Mn4N and Mn tN (9.2 < jc < 25.3). Nitrides are frequently classified into 4 groups salt-like , covalent, diamond-like and metallic (or interstitial ). The remarks on p. 64 concerning the limitations of such classifications are relevant here. The two main methods of preparation are by direct reaction of the metal with Ni or NH3 (often at high temperatures) and the thermal decomposition of metal amides, e.g. ... [Pg.417]

Ni3C decomposition is included in this class on the basis of Doremieux s conclusion [669] that the slow step is the combination of carbon atoms on reactant surfaces. The reaction (543—613 K) obeyed first-order [eqn. (15)] kinetics. The rate was not significantly different in nitrogen and, unlike the hydrides and nitrides, the mobile lattice constituent was not volatilized but deposited as amorphous carbon. The mechanism suggested is that carbon diffuses from within the structure to a surface where combination occurs. When carbon concentration within the crystal has been decreased sufficiently, nuclei of nickel metal are formed and thereafter reaction proceeds through boundary displacement. [Pg.154]

Li3(BN2) have already demonstrated the decomposition of (BN2) ions into boron nitride. The remaining nitride can lead to the formation of a binary metal nitride or reduce the transition metal ion under the formation of N2. Both mechanisms have been obtained experimentally, depending on the stability of the metal nitride. For instance niobium pentachloride forms NbN, titanium trichloride forms TiN, and nickel dichloride forms Ni, plus BN and nitrogen, respectively, in reactions with Li3(BN)2 (at 300-600°C) [24]. [Pg.130]

Alone, or Metals, or Metal compounds Mellor, 1940, Vol. 8, 327 1967, Vol. 8, Suppl. 2.2, 84, 96 It is an explosive of positive oxygen balance, less stable than ammonium nitrate, and has been studied in detail. Stable on slow heating to 300°C, it decomposes explosively on rapid heating or under confinement. Presence of zinc, copper, most other metals and their acetylides, nitrides, oxides or sulfides cause flaming decomposition above the m.p. (70°C). Commercial cobalt (cubes) causes an explosion also. [Pg.1691]
